Shilpa Gupta

FIELD MEETINGOctober 27th, 2014 New York City

Mumbai-born artist Shilpa Gupta spoke about influences of politics and culture on the construction of identities and how her works question perception spectatorship. Through use of videos, performances, objects, photographs, installations or digital art, often interactive and concerned by what we are looking at and how, Shilpa’s artistic research is oriented towards ways of interpreting information and the misunderstandings brought about by a highly mediated world.

Shilpa Gupta’s participation in FIELD MEETING was supported by Vadehra Art Gallery
